Demon King: Hero, don't run away!-Chapter 1257: The Ice Cream Theory

Yang Yu had suspected this before, but hearing the name from the mouth of the Corpse Collection Coffin member still surprised him:

"I see, you’re guarding his tomb...

What connection do you have with him?"

Nagasarro responded:

"This is a history that has been buried for a long time.

Many don’t know that the reason why Corpse Collection Coffin can become an S-Class adventure group and achieve its current status is all thanks to Hero Lux.

To repay this debt, we follow his dying wish to search for Transcendents during world changes, letting them strategize the maze."

"World changes... are you referring to the Demon King Descent?" Yang Yu pressed on.

"We aren’t sure exactly, we only know that when the Underground Maze left by the Hero starts to grow, it’s time for us to take action.

As previously mentioned, across human history, Transcendents are rare.

Luckily, Transcendents will somehow trigger world changes.

Although their numbers are few, as long as we target the sudden emergence of strong individuals during this period, finding Transcendents is quite easy.

You are the Transcendent we’ve found," Nagasarro said.

Gently placing down the teacup, Yang Yu wiped his mouth, "Although my growth is very rapid, it doesn’t mean I am a Transcendent.

Why are you so certain that I am a Transcendent? Do you have a way to identify Transcendents?"

Nagasarro answered firmly:

"We do.

As Spiritual Bodies, we exist in a very Special status.

Our bodies are also composed of countless tiny objects.

When we transform into corporeal form, we attract surrounding tiny objects to fill ourselves, like a loose ball of cotton absorbing a lot of water, becoming heavy and solid.

We are extremely sensitive to the flow of Magic Power, easily judging the strength of a person from the Magic Power emitted by them, and also observing things that others might miss.

When doing nothing, normal people emit more Magic Power than they absorb, but Transcendents are almost balanced.

If sick or seriously injured, a normal person’s loss of Magic Power speeds up, and if they can’t absorb enough Magic Power from their surroundings to replenish, their Energy Level might decrease.

But Transcendents don’t face this problem."

Yang Yu pinched his chin,

"That’s not right, based on what you said, if you do nothing and sit there to rest, Magic Power would be lost, and once used up, you can never use Magic again."

Nagasarro explained: "Magic Power comes from those tiny objects, with those tiny objects, a person can be strong.

The human body has a mechanism, when one’s usable Magic Power is depleted, it speeds up the absorption of surrounding Magic Power.

Moreover, the Magic Power emitted normally is directly released by the tiny objects forming the body, absorption is also directly done and accumulated by the tiny objects.

In other words, everyone is like a molten ice cream.

When a person uses a Skill, it’s like opening a hole in the ice cream to pour out the molten part, once the molten part is gone, Skills can’t be used.

Once the molten part is gone, an invisible hand appears to transform surrounding air into molten parts and stuffs it into the ice cream.

The Magic Power emitted from a person is like the cold air emanating from an ice pop, the more cold air lost, the smaller the ice cream becomes.

When cold air is lost, some water vapor from the air adheres and forms crystals, so the ice cream doesn’t seem to melt quickly."

"If we keep this analogy, a person becomes strong because cold air constantly adheres to them, ice cream becomes larger and harder?

And my ice cream grows faster than normal ice cream and doesn’t emit cold air?"

Nagasarro corrected Yang Yu’s statement: "You’re not an ice cream that doesn’t emit cold air, if you insist, it’s about how much cold air you emitted and how much cold air you absorbed back from the surroundings.

Most people can’t see cold air, but I can see cold air."

At this point, Yang Yu understood quite a bit,

"If we continue to compare people to ice cream, then the stick holding the ice cream must have a weight limit it can support, so Energy Levels have an upper limit.

Different races are like adding different ingredients to the ice cream.

Ice cream made of water is much harder than ice cream made of chocolate.

Different molten parts have different flavors."

"Exactly."

"Speaking of this analogy, there should be a way to transform the ice cream’s shell into molten parts, or a way to make the ice cream lose its shell, turning the shell into a gas or liquid, providing a chance to strike at the vulnerable base.

Do you know any of those methods?"

Nagasarro furrowed his brows, "That I don’t know. All in all, based on the characteristics of Transcendents, we identify you as one, it’s not groundless."

"Then..." Yang Yu continued to ask: "Aside from me, have you found any other Transcendents?"

Nagasarro pondered for a moment and said: "Besides you... the Hero of this generation, a man named Vorquis, also possesses this characteristic.

No kidding, every generation’s Hero is bound to be a Transcendent.

If the Hero weren’t a Transcendent, he wouldn’t be able to elevate his partners so quickly."

Is it that the goddess chose Transcendents to become Heroes, or the goddess-chosen individuals become Transcendents?

Yang Yu couldn’t decide for now, "Then why did Hero Lox work tirelessly for you to find Transcendents to strategize the Underground Maze?"

Regret climbed onto Nagasarro’s face: "He didn’t tell us this part.

Before he died, he just said that by traversing that Underground Maze, Transcendents would understand everything.

Unfortunately, you’re already on your voyage, with urgent matters at hand, it’s not possible to return to our Stronghold to strategize that Underground Maze now.

We can only wait until this matter is concluded to invite you to try strategizing that Underground Maze again."

Yang Yu feigned disappointment, "After saying so much, the result is that it’s all rather pointless."

Nagasarro laughed: "Is it? I think I shared quite a bit of intriguing information. Do you have any other questions?"

"Of course. I have a bunch of questions here, there’s no hurry, I’ll ask slowly."

Nagasarro nodded with a smile, pouring another cup of tea for Yang Yu and his group.

While Yang Yu was continuously asking Nagasarro various questions in the cabin, doing his utmost to gather intelligence, an unassuming Suckermouth Fish clung to the bottom of their ship underwater, steadily keeping pace with Yang Yu’s group, its eyes flashing a blood-red light, forwarding Yang Yu’s location information to an ancient castle.
